Question about paypal, it charged an account that doesn't exist?

Question

So I had a checking account at capitol federal and I bought something with paypal. Well I recently closed my cap fed checking account but it says on my paypal that it transfered money from the checking account to cover this charge.

Well I also have a credit card setup that is current and everything. So do you think its going to realize that the checking account doesn't exist and then just charge the credit card? Because thats what I want it to do.

Answer 1

if the checking account payment is denied for any reason by CapFed, then Paypal will go to your 2ndary form of payment, which is indeed usually a credit card on file.
